Lord Foul's Bane
Lord Foul's Bane, by Stephen R. Donaldson
Well, back to fantasy. I really like the world created in this series. I like Donaldson a lot, as well. I feel like his "heroes" are usually flawed loser types who are able to overcome there failings to be heroic, whether they want to or not. This is a fun, if somewhat dark, series.

Counterplay
Counterplay, by Robert K. Tanenbaum
Finishing the third of these new Karps, I find that I can go ahead and read through them ok. I feel like I am either becoming inured to his rightie politics or his vitriolic post 9-11 mood has changed and he has started going back to where he was before. The story's become less "realistic" and more James Patterson like, though there is a lot of dense junk to wade through. Whereas before that dense stuff was what I liked. Oh well.
